Work at the Dial Regional Sports Complex is about 80 per cent complete and is progressing on time and on budget, according to Central Coast Mayor Jan Bonde.

Work on the site started in February this year and the grounds should be ready for the start of the 2018 AFL season.

“This is really exciting for our community and the north west region as well,” Councillor Bonde said.

“What will be here is two football ovals, both AFL-sized ovals, and there will also be a nature based playground and a public toilet. So it’s really going to be a community hub for sports and activities up here.”
